| Paddling race 55:10 [4] | |

| Tri Loppet paddle with Kari....hmmmm....last year we split the paddle in a little over 50 minutes and we were supposedly in a faster boat this year....it wasn't faster for us....not sure what happen...we did had some trouble in the turns with this boat but we decided next year to go back to a Minn II...disappointing paddle for us...

| ...boy, running out of the canoe is tougher than any bike to run transition in a swim tri.....I noticed my Heart Rate was not as high at some points in this hilly, fun, trail run even though I felt like I was pushing hard...wanted to walk at some points but kept pushing....my split was still over a minute slower this year....wierd after others races had indidcated my running was on par and better than last year...crazy fun course....

| wow....a great course for this type of race...varied...even though we did not go on the Wirth mt bike trails it had enough singletrack and off road segments that allowed you to use some bike handling skills...with 350 people in the race it was probably wise not to go on the Wirth mt bike trails...came back a bit with a good biking effort...got cought behind people just a bit but passed fairly quickly....some tough hills thrown in and some put your head down and go sections...great fun....
1:57:58 overall time....154 average HR which seems a bit low but likely due to the large paddling section where a lower HR is typical due to its focused upperbody effort.....49 of 110 male doubles....61 out of 188 total doubles...
this race is interesting because it is skewed towards the paddling leg which makes it a paddlers race...a discipline most do not train for seriously...
definately not as good as last years result....a little off the mark...

| Paddled the SCR with Kari at Ketter Canoe...we had wondered if this boat will be to tippy for us...id we get some big waves tomorow it could be interesteing but ultimately we decided to go with it hoping it will give ua a decent paddle split.... |

| weight:171.2lbs |
| 10x100 in slightly sub 1:26 on 2:00....felt rough and it was a hard effort to make the interval goal time of 1:25...a little disappointed I was did not average that....I need to swim two more workouts before my next triathlon on the 30th in hopes of sharpening my speed just a bit....... |

| trail running 46:47 [3] | |
| ahr:135 weight:172.2lbs |
| running the trail in Wirth with some push on hills...looking to familiarize myself with the Tri-Loppet course...I can still feel my right ankle that I tweaked at the Spring AR...should be fine as long as I go easy on it this week...I want to be able to race the steeps without being conscious of it.... |
